Initial catalog

Business domains

Domains are namespaces for enduring business meaning. They are not different capability types, organizational charts, software modules or implementation technologies.

Draft 0.2 catalogs are intentionally representative and non-exhaustive. Procurement is the first deep reference domain; other areas establish the initial vocabulary to be refined in future drafts.

Procurement Reference

What is deliberately absent

There is no Integration or Automation business domain. Those describe how work may be implemented rather than what enduring business meaning the work has. Generic technical IT operations are also outside the initial ABCS catalog.

ABCS may add or refine genuine business domains as the model matures, but new domains must pass the business-only scope test.
